To Hope or Not to Hope?

[StrgMarvelousWmn]

I made an appt for a financial readiness class with a financial advisor here on Post. I want to lay some ground work. I used to be pretty good at that but lately, I'm not myself (can't imagine why? lol). I'm a big list maker so I need to have some knowledgeable neutral outside party help me come up with a plan. The Bible says, "Without VISION, the people perish" so I'm trying to come up with a vision, plan, goals, etc. I have some other things I'm working on but just trying to find time is rough.

Trying to stay upbeat and positive. Have been hanging note cards in a few strategic places around the house. The one I put up on the kitchen cabinet today says: "We may not have much money for the things we want, but we have A LOT OF LOVE IN THIS HOUSE AND WE HAVE EACH OTHER". I wrote it in marker on a 8x10 piece of paper so the kids could read it.

L&L

can I borrow your 8x10 quote? I think we need that in my kitchen, too!

Good for you for going to see the financial counselor. I would like to do that, in conjunction with H, but he will not be willing to go with me, I am sure. I am going to have to start pushing him soon. He revoked my POA, but he will be leaving on deployment in Sept. Both cars will need to be re-registered, I will ahve to renew the lease, plus there are any number of other issues that come up during deployment thaa you cannot deal with without one. Luckily, a close friend is an ombudsman for H's new duty station. She will go to the command, even if I do not have the nerve to do it. I may do it after he goes to sea anyway, if only to force his hand. Then again, maybe not. Who knows. Right now, I am just hurting and cannot think straight.
